This is F***ing ridiculous, 25 of the top 30 finishers in the Men's XC NCAA Championship were international. Most from Kenya. We need to save the NCAA and limit internationals, limit the ages - and drug test them.
Top Americans:
2nd - Rocky Hansen
7th - Gary Martin
16th - Colin Sahlman
25th - Aiden Smith
28th - Ethan Coleman
...
It's exactly what NCAA needs a great measurement of how ready our Americans are to face the rest of the world runners. After today's NCAA performance I have no doubt Rocky's 5000m pb will go from 13:07 to sub 12:55 in 2026.

These coaches will say "the internationals help the Americans run faster and do better on the world stage" but that is BULLS***.
Ishmael Kipkirui came from the NCAA last year and beat American PRO runners Nico Young and Grant Fisher at the World Championships, placing 4th.
Lemngole beat all the Americans at the world championships in the steeplechase.
It's clear as day this current system is SEVERELY HURTING Americans as internationals take our scholarships, resources, coaching, etc. We are helping the international runners defeat Americans by providing them resources they wouldn't otherwise have.
Agree 100 percent. This BS argument is just repackaged trickle down economics, but applied to sports
"If you take away opportunities from Americans and give them to foreign overage dopers, in some roundabout way it will actually come back to help Americans more in the long run"
Uh huh, and me giving my paycheck to Jeff Bezos will actually make my retirement account bigger too right?
Do you Kenyan defenders think we were born yesterday?
No thanks, I'll actually just take my chances keeping my money and giving opportunities to our kids.

Those five listed have two weeks before everyone reconvenes in Boston at the Sharon Colyear-Danville meet unless they think they'll make the US team in Portland. Otherwise, show up in Boston and run faster.
I think they gave that advice to Trump...just shut up and run. We will get you to the finish line. Jane picking BYU is akin to Donald picking his son in law. Jane is a mormon and Donald is clearly a blackmailed Zionist. Everything will happen the way Bibi draws it up. If they wanted Doris to lose, we would have had a trans in the field.
That's bullsh*t. American collegiate athletes have been performing at a high level on the World stage for 60+ years. Ever hear of Jim Ryun or Steve Prefontaine?
The foreigners aren't raising the bar, they are choosing to compete against younger competition instead of running pro races.
People like Gary Martin, Ethan Strand, Nathan Green and Liam Murphy challenge each other enough. Hocker, Nuguse, and Teare didn't need any foreigners to push them.
0% chance Grant Fisher is a wr holder if NCAA has always been limited to Americans.
This is correct. Pretending otherwise is hilarious.

I would bet a grand that most of those Africans hardly ever attend class, and if they can tead, moat are at 6th grade level at best. Reminds me of my long ago days at UTEP
All you people have are these middle school level COD lobby insults, because you know your actual position it indefensible. Same with the men in women's sports defenders. (Probably because the venn diagram heavily overlaps)
I can guarantee you that just like that issue, this BS would be 80/20 in a national poll. You can throw out as many "keep crying bro" or "muh that doesn't happen chud" comments as you want, it's not gonna change that reality. How about you act like an adult and actually argue for your position on its merits?
